Water Marble - Purple Midnight Twilight

Nails I Love

Midnight
Water Marble

Hi
Goddesses

It’s Water
Marble Monday (on a Tuesday, sorry I was poorly last night!)!! They’re not happening
quite as often as I’d like, but hey ho.

So this is
a goodie I did a couple of weeks ago.
After Witches Water Marble which was intentionally “ugly”, I wanted to do
something similar but beautiful, so I turned to my beloved purplishes. I was adamant I wanted OPI Give Me The Moon
in there to give it some shimmery grey, but eventually, it was quite hard
choosing which purplish to use.

Finally I
went with Zoya Pinta, Wet n Wild Ready to Pounce and the amazing Wet n Wild
Buffy The Violet Slayer. I absolutely
LOVED this marble. The colours blended
beautifully, with the dark purple, brown-tinged purple and the electric purple
swimming around with that amazing grey.

I also did
LTHP’s favourite trick and used a top coat of Northern Lights Out The Door
Holographic topcoat, and wow, it just added something extra, like stars
twinkling at night. This is so
mysterious and magical for me – a true mani for the Witching Hour. Loves!

I do think
I’m quite lucky how this turned out. If
the purplishes had been less well chosen, all the impact would have been
lost. As it is, each purplish is
distinct yet interwoven with the others.

As ever, I
have a favourite nail or nails, and this time it’s the index and middle fingers
on the LEFT hand, which is quite unusual.
The middle finger in particular looks quite galaxy-ish to me, like
Saturn’s rings or something.

I still
love water marbles, nerve-racking and tricky though they are. There is something soooo beautiful about
them, and this one, man I loved this one so much.

Enjoy xx J

ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
